The best folk and acoustic music from Britain and beyond. Mark listens to Irish lilting - singing a tune without words - by Paddy Tunney and new duo Absolute Lilt. There are classics by Nadia Cattouse and Davy Graham in connection with a new exhibition at the V&A East Museum called The Music Is Black: A British Story. Tunes include a new single by Punch Brothers and a polka by The Gathering Quartet, and there's a Nic Jones song performed by Sam Carter. Produced in Salford by Pomona Audio for BBC Radio 2.
